Buying House Hack as Primary without Fraud

[Abe Alam]

Hi Folks,

I’m interested in buying a multi family as my next investment as a house hack, but then eventually moving back into my primary. 

My lender told me that having tenants Sign a contract before moving out of my primary would increase the likliehood of underwriter approval. 

Does anyone know if there are any lease limits to this (for example, can I use my home as a STR and buy the multi family as a primary?)

What’s the best way to do this? What have you seen done?
